After a long journey, but with a stop at my favourite place on the way (more on that in the next post!) we reached the absolutely gorgeous house we were staying in, in La Jolla, San Diego.
The quality of this snap isn't great, but you get the idea of the beautiful house!
Of course, we immediately jumped in the hot tub.
Don't pretend you wouldn't do it too!
The little one tested out the pretty super climbing frame, pretty sure it passed the test!
One morning we stopped off at 'Denny's' - an all american diner that does the best all american breakfasts.
Josh & I went for an Oreo milkshake, which turned out to be a big mistake. It tasted uh-mazing but not only do you get a glass full, you also get a tumbler full of the 'left over' milkshake, which is pretty much another full glass! Although it tasted amazing, I was already a little full by the time I received my TWO plates of breakfast!
Turns out that in a lot of diner's, when you order pancakes, you also get a 'side' of eggs, bacon, sausages and hash browns! I tried my best to get through it all but I was defeated, but I knew to just ask for Pancakes alone next time!
I opted for the 'Red, White & Blue' Special. Blueberry pancakes topped with strawberries and cream cheese icing, with a glug of syrup on the side. It was definitely Instagram worthy, but I decided to cover up the 'bubbly bit'... it's just the cream heating up I assure you!
We enjoyed some lovely days at the beach. The mornings were a little over cast but it tended to clear by lunchtime for perfect beach weather.

I loved the day we spent at San Diego Zoo, it's amazing there!
If you ever get the chance to go to the Westfield in San Diego, Go! It's beautiful and all outside, so in no way a stuffy shopping centre! It's fair to say we shopped till we dropped...
Next Up: Laguna Beach!

2013, You have been a year full of ups and downs... (I'm pleased to say mostly ups!)
finished school
I'd been at my school for 15 years, so this one was emotional but definitely came at the right time. I was ready to move on to bigger and better things.
got three B's a-levels
I predicted myself these grades so I was more than pleased when I got them! When I found out it was 3am, I was in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere in Three Rivers, California. I risked being eaten by a bear, by going out on the balcony to get signal to call my mum in excitement!
had two incredible and unforgettable holidays
I went on my first 'big girl' holiday with my best friend, Charlie! 4.30am and we were ready to jet off to Ibiza with no parents for a week of sunbathing, partying and a lot of laughs. It was a week I will never forget with my best friend who I will always be there for, no matter how far away from each other we are! My second holiday was a month long road trip around the West Coast of America. I'm going to do a throwback blog post on this holiday as it was amazing and I'd love to have an account of it on my blog. Highlights for me were the Grand Canyon and LA!
started my blog
Whilst in america, I decided I wanted to start a blog. I would watch Zoella, Tanya Burr, Sprinkle Of Glitter, Pointless Blog and Tyler Oakley if I had some spare time at a hotel and if the weather wasn't great (monsoon season...) which inspired me to start vlogging, but I knew I wanted to blog first! So on the 12th August 2013, I said hello to my blog, Love On The Wall!
met my wonderful boyfriend
I had actually met him once before, but moving to Brighton and going to BIMM bought Henry into my life and I couldn't be happier. I love having him by my side to I can't wait to start the new year with him.
moved out and started university
A big, scary and daunting thing to do, but I'm on an amazing course, with amazing people in an amazing place. It is a new chapter in my life and it's going very well so far. It has really made me realise who my real friends are and I've definitely grown up a lot already. I do miss my family but I am loving life in Brighton and I'm actually surviving looking after myself!
I'm really looking forward to another exciting year, bring on 2014!
What were your 2013 highlights?
